I know this is way back in the thread but what size binding do you use on the body from stew mac? What size for the neck as well?

I will tint it yellow when I paint the guitar. I use DUCO cement with this binding. Binding tape is essential for this since you can pull really hard on it and it won't break, allowing good pressure on the binding. I masked the mahogany first so that any glue drips would not get saturated into the wood causing problems for the grainfiller stain. Here is the binding going on:



Getting the binding around the bottom horn is REALLY hard. I used a hairdryer to bend the binding, but it is still a real chore, and I'm sure when I take the tape off in the morning I will have so spots to fill.

edit: nvm all set now!
